Creature taming help

im trying to create a level where you can tame creatures with the 4 featured races in Warcraft III, and maybe more, i need some help with some things: creatures to use, all orc creatures have been decided, but human is kinda hard, undead is impossible to think up..

there must be 1 flying creature for each race, and 2 land, and maybe later on sea creatures will be used.

remember that the undead come from an icy area - so make sure their cold-type units :)

oh yes, and NE need one land creature, the used creatures are listed below

Orcs use - Wolf[land], Wyvern[air], Thunder Lizard[land]

Humans use - Horse[land], Gryphon[air], ???[land]

Undead use - ??? - ??? - ???

Night Elf use - Tiger[land], Hippogryph[air], ???[land]

also, should i make there be more creatures available[more then 3], and any other races to be used would be helpful

later i will be needing trigger help and such, but not yet.

Just an idea, in the beta, frosywyrms were meant to be massive ground creatures. I dont know if anyone has the .mdx for that but it's worth thinking about.

Dont forget the critters.

Humans can have dogs

NE can have stags/deer

Well... The Undead could have a regular animal that's pieced together, like an abdom... Be it a dog or a bird.

History lesson time so be prepared.

Frost wyrms are considered to be totally obedient. The frost wyrms are not dragons, or some race, but dead dragons revived. Therefore you cannot tame it, because its tamed from birth. To make it historically accurate you could make it so the undead KILL some sorta creature, then they have to load up the corpse (give the guy the meat wagon ability) and head to some special place to revive it. I know it doesn't really matter to you but if some stupid star-trek fan can threaten to jump because one part of the series is not physically possible you CAN get hell from not being historically accurate. Just so you know. (P.S. When orcs tried to ride dragons in warcraft 2 the dragons got pissed and flamed up the orc place, then decided not to help so that is why dragons are no longer tamable except by the blackrock clan who uses demonic methods to tame them. Just so you know)

Orcs use - Wolf[land], Wyvern[air], Thunder Lizard[land]
kodo rideless too for orcs

Humans use - Horse[land], Gryphon[air], ???[land]
land is to difficult... dragon hawk is air. human is good to "tame"
elementals... water elemental is a choice...

Undead use - ??? - ??? - ???
okay, undead dont use living creatures... sorry... not for tame...
fiend is a spider undead type... garg is another creature, and the frost wyrm too... any corrupted creature is another choice... satyrs, corrupted treant, ghosts...

Night Elf use - Tiger[land], Hippogryph[air], ???[land]
oh night elf have many types of wild friends...
bears, crows, wolf, and more...

Have undead kill them, then resurrect them. Allow them to take ANY unit, but it drains mana, and also lasts only for a while.

ok, i decided to dump the undead using, only Orcs, NE and Human for now, later i might insert some other race, maybe dwarfs and trolls, and the units must be mountable, thats why i made these choices, and i decided to insert the Thunder Lizard because Kodo's are lame :P, i know the thunder lizard's have spikes on their back, but they dont need to have that :)

also, the original idea for this came from WoW, they start out not accepting, but please dont give ideas for it to be enemy' s of the race.

also, i cant decide to choose the easy way for selecting[unit enter region] the creature, or the hard way for selecting one[the dialog or whatever]

i dont know much about doing dialog, but i do know the other, but im willing to learn how to do dialog.
